I really don't have a lot to cover today, so I'll skip right to the comments instead.

Thank you for the support, it means a lot to me, but once again the Fates have decided I don't deserve a break.
As for being let down gently, I really like hearing "We'll call you either way." then not hearing from the employer at all. I've been told that several times in recent interviews, at least I got the call back yesterday, but she didn't leave a complete message for, I have to return that call today after 4:00PM (so I won't know anything for sure until then). Personally, I like a bit of solitude once in a while, but I'm just odd that way.
I do plan to make some digital images of the gryphon, so I will try to get it up once I get those done. I have to get some sleep first, then color the picture, and finally frame it. I still haven't come up with a way to wrap it though.

That's a lot of interviews, if I add up every one I've ever been to it probably would be something like 10-15, I fill out a lot of applications, but don't get a lot of interviews. And I do hate to have to answer the question "why haven't you worked in the past six years?" because it's not my problem people won't hire me, I do the best I can, and my best isn't good enough.
No I'm not on that much, I don't really get around a lot, and I don't go out of my way to get noticed by people, so I shouldn't really complain. I've had quite an exhausting week, and when I'm tired I overreact to the dumbest little petty ante nonsense.
Directing for the stage is actually very challenging, but it's fun to do. My Theatre teacher told me I had a good eye for direction several times during the course of the years I took it in high school. I never actually took on the responsibility of directing a play for the school, but I know if I said I wanted to try it, my teacher would have let me do it in a heartbeat. I did a lot of directing exercises in class, and I came close by stage managing a couple plays (never again will I do that, you want stress, be a stage manager) for the school. Imagination is a great thing to have in any of the performance arts. Please take a look in that direction as a possibility, you just might find something you like, and liking what you do is the best motivation of all.
They didn't do that at my school, they were too busy worried about getting their new football field planted and played on. I have seen biased surveys though, those are fun to fudge the results on by choosing totally random things that don't make sense together. That's what they get for trying to lead the surveys in the direction they want to go.

The job was a busser position at a local hotel, and thanks for the support, but like I told Mamma Vash, the Fates were unkind to me once again.
I don't draw a lot of attention to my art, so no one's tried to copy it, and no one's accused me of copying theirs yet either, so I can't speak from first hand knowledge on the subject. I do know a couple people who's pictures have been copied and such. If a person is good enough to copy someone else's picture, then they're good enough, technically, to draw one of their own, so I can't understand why they hurt themselves by copying someone else's work.
It's almost done, I've still got to get some coloring done on it so I can take some pictures of it (that paper size just won't fit on the scanner!) and try to get something up here for you all to see. And I'll pass that along for you even it it makes me seem weirder than I already do to my family *^_^* If she likes the artwork, that'll be enough for me no matter how bizarre I present myself.
Editorial:
. . .And an Island Never Cries
Job hunting sucks.
A review of all my recent applications and interviews leads me to the conclusion that there has to be something wrong with me if I can't get myself hired, even for simple jobs. I've tried everything I could think of, I've taken everyone's "expert" advice and I still can't get a job.
I know I'm a timid person, is that more important than my ability to learn? I know I haven't worked in six years, but does that carry more weight than my willingness to try? I don't understand employers, I don't understand why I get called in for interviews only to be told I'm not right for the job. I don't understand why an employer would ask someone in an interview if he'd be willing to work on a trial basis then turn around and give the job to someone else anyway. I just don't understand it at all. I don't even know what I can do differently to make myself look good to prospecting employers. I've tried everything, I've done my best to be my honest self, and I still get nowhere for my effort. I guess I have to come up with a way to support myself since no one else will give me a chance to prove myself.
